Well we got fancy with it the other night. I made Panna Cotta for dessert after seeing it on a cooking show. I thought it would be hard to make, but if you’ve ever made jello, you can make panna cotta. I made a Lavender Panna Cotta with a blueberry compote on top and I…
Berry Buckle
I have so many berries, I have no idea what to do with them. I pack them as snacks during the work week, I bake with them and I have a stockpile of frozen berries in my freezer. And you know what? I love it. But I did have to get rid of some of…
